Questions about scalix

Use SXAA and create a rule for each user that will move all messages with the appropriate spam header to a folder named SPAM (or whatever). This rule will need to be created for each user. You can sort the message based on finding ***Spam*** (or whatever) in the message subject, but that will also sort messages that you might NOT want sorted. (Such as if a user forwards a message to you saying "This isn't spam". Stuff like that.

Thanks

but how do i create a junk folder for each user?

and what about that archiving tool, where do i need to download it from?

I want to do a flash migration becuz we have less number of users, how do i do it all at once i think there is a tool called Scalix Migration Tool (SMT), can i use this tool for Flash migration? where can i download it or is it built-in 11.3? if not SMT how do i migrated the complete set of users on our server. These users use pop3 service to download mails to there local system.

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# Creates a "spam" folder in the user's inbox and sets a
# filterset redirecting all messages marked "[SPAM]" there.
#
# make sure to copy the 'sxaa' file from the scalix
# admin_resource_kit to /usr/bin
#
# usage: create_spam_filter.pl [user_name | all]
#
use strict;
use warnings;
use Mail::IMAPClient;

my $host="hostname";
my $username="mboxadmin";
my $password="password";
my $createFolder="/Inbox/spam";

my $checkUser=$ARGV[0];
my @all_users=`/opt/scalix/bin/omshowu -m all -i`;

foreach my $punter (@all_users){   
   if ($punter eq $checkUser || $checkUser eq "all"){
       chomp $punter;
       my $user="mboxadmin:$username:$punter";
       my $imap  = new Mail::IMAPClient( 'Server' => $host , 'User' => $user , 'Password' => $password  ) or next;
       print "Found user: ".$punter."\n";
       $imap->create($createFolder) or die "Could not create spam folder\n";
       system('/usr/bin/sxaa --user '.$punter.' --file "$createFolder" --subject "[SPAM]" --title "spam filter"');
   }

}

Will this script work for creatinf spma folder and adding spam rules?

Yep that helped me thanks, now i want to create a "junk folder" and then automatically send all spam mails to this folder, how can i achieve this?

Spam gets tagged so you see headers like....

X-Spam-Level: *****
X-Spam-Status: yes

You need to create filter rules looking for these headers via swa or outlook.

spamass-milter can be configured to automatically drop mail scoring beyond a score set via /etc/sysconfig/spamass-milter, Check the man page.

I usually use the "****" headers for rules, looking for "***" or more to file to "Junk E-mail".

I will try this out

Whenever I'm trying to backup the scalix folder in compressed format using tar tool it throws me "ignoring socket file", is it a risk if i don't copy this files. the command I'm issuing is

tar -cjf <source> </var/opt/scalix

can someone help me with the command.

I tried rsync but it seems to copy the complete scalix folder in folder manner without compressing and it takes 100MB+ whereas when I do the compression it comes to 30MB+. I'm planning to take a daily complete backup.

tar -cjf <source> </var/opt/scalix

can someone help me with the command.

first, find the socket files and build a list.....

find /var/opt/scalix -type s -depth > $EXCLUSIONLIST 2>/dev/null

then run a tar such as....

tar -cjf --exclude-from "$EXCLUSIONLIST" <source> < /var/opt/scalix

[mikevl]

Hi

Don't forget to preserve permissions when taring your message store

Mike

[kool_kid]

Mike,

so the commands should be

> find /var/opt/scalix -type s -depth > $EXCLUSIONLIST 2>/dev/null

> tar -cjf --exclude-from "$EXCLUSIONLIST" --perserve-permissions <source> < /var/opt/scalix

right?

[mikevl]

Hi

-p, --preserve-permissions

Mike

[mikevl]

Hi

Sorry

Try

omshut

Wait till server is FULLY shut down

/bin/tar -czpf "$BACKUP_DEVICE$BACKUP_FILE" /var/opt/scalix

omrc

If you don't use LVM you need to shut down Scalix completly before you start you message store backup.

Okay i will take of shutting down Scalix.

I need help with migration, my scenario is

I have 25 users on intranet using scalix community edition, I want to migrate them to new Scalix Enterperise Edition.
I have another 25 users on godaddy.com these ones are on internet. These users are IMAP disabled they only have pop enabled.

What should i do to migrate them. I thought of using OL2003 and migrate them all but its becoming a difficult process.
